Operation The AIS MOB easy2-MOB can float without additional aids. In heavy seas, the easy2-MOB may need a long time to determine a GPS/GNSS position while swimming. For best AIS transmission performance and GPS/GNSS reception accuracy, hold the beacon in your hand as high out of the water as pos- sible.
TEST function (MOB TEST) Test the easy2-MOB for transmission function at regular in- tervals. The easy2-MOB has a so-called ‘shelf life’ of 7 years. This means that with a maximum of 30 test cycles, the battery still has sufficient capacity in the 7th year (in accordance with the standard).
